Baa Baa black sheep (No! Don't even go there, ok!)
Have you any wool?
Imagine the hassle he would have avoided if he'd just said
"Nope"
"No wool, sorry...got some nice linen, some odd and ends of silk, maybe a bit of Crimplene" (Remember that?!)
But no! he's got 3 bags! 1 for the Master, 1 for the Dame (!) and one for...
Yes, The Little Boy Who Lives Down The Lane...
WHAT? A little boy wants a bag of wool???
WTF?
Anyway, whatever the motive of the young chap, clearly the Sheep has 3 bags of wool, but they are all spoken for, so why not just say "No!" to the initial enquiry, and get on with life?
I mean, if I go into Screwyoufix and ask for 50m of 4mm T&E, they aren't going to say, well...we did have some, in fact we still do have it on the shelf, but Tel and Pete ordered our last few reels, so while we technically do have it, it is reserved for other customers-still our property until paid for, to be fair-so, forgive the pedantic attitude, but while we DO have some, it's spoken for, so actually you can't have any of it.
Just say "Nope"..."but I'll get some in for you tomorrow"
Crikey, this Rioja's good stuff!
